Why Courteney Cox Wasn’t a “Mama Bear” to Daughter Coco Arquette on ‘Evil Genius’ Set
The one where Courteney Cox’s daughter Coco Arquette is an acting genius.
The Friends alum detailed her experience being the 22-year-old’s director on the set of their crime thriller Evil Genius, explaining why she didn’t need to use her maternal instinct to protect Coco on set.
“I would say not mama bear,” Courteney exclusively told E! News at the world premiere of her movie during the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12. “I would be more like, ‘Get it together!’ No, I’m just kidding.”
“She holds her own,”—who shares Coco with ex-husband David Arquette— added. “I don’t need to be protective of her.”
And according to the Scream actress, she wasn’t the only one singing Coco’s praises on set.
“Of course, I loved having Coco on set. Everybody loved her,” Courteney explained. “She’s just a little force, but she’s an incredible actor.”
But her daughter wasn’t the only member of her acting family who appears in Evil Genius, which tells the story of the 2003 “pizza bomber” case.
